What Not to Put into Your Septic System

Don’t flush the following items to be disposed into your septic system — cat litter, coffee grounds, cooking fats, heavy duty wet-strength paper towels that don’t dissolve easily, disposable diapers, feminine products (pads or tampons), condoms, facial tissues, flushable wipes (they are NOT safe for your septic!), cigarette butts, hair and other materials that do not break down easily. If it won’t decompose, it will fill the septic tank and plug the system!
